The services required by this contract will be provided for the customers of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, South Atlantic Division, and the Southeastern Regional Environmental Office on the Installation Management Command, Atlantic Region (IMCOM) and existing customers. However, work can be awarded for projects located outside of the geographical boundary in order to align with the geographical area of responsibility of a customer. While this establishes the primary geographical area of responsibility for this contract, it is not limited to only Army customers. The contractor may be required to perform tasks on-site or at their own facilities. The contractor shall provide support related to requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Clean Air Act, National Environmental Policy Agency (NEPA) and other related Federal Programs in addition to State/Local specific regulations/requirements. The USACE Contracting Officer (KO) or Contracting Officer?s Representative (COR) will provide the contractor with any site-specific information upon issuance of each task order. Information provided by the USACE on any site will be dependent on the current status of the site. Each task order will define the performance requirements of the contractor. Task orders may require but will not be limited to any combination of the requirements stated in Section 3 below. It is expected that this contract will require the performance of multiple projects (task orders) simultaneously with overlapping periods of performance. All task orders issued under this SATOC shall be performance-based task orders as in Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 37.6. Performance-based task orders, with a tailored task order specific Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), will be issued IAW FAR 37.102 against the awarded contract unless the required approval is received in accordance with AFARS 5137.170-2. Task orders may use performance-based work statements (PWSs). A PWS structures all aspects of an acquisition around the purpose of the work to be performed and does not dictate how the work is to be accomplished. It is written to ensure that contractors are given the freedom to determine how to meet the Government?s performance objectives and provides for payment only when the results meet or exceed these objectives. It maximizes contractor control of work processes and allows for innovation in approaching various work requirements. A PWS emphasizes performance that can be contractually defined so that the results of the contractor?s effort can be measured in terms of technical and quality achievement, schedule progress, or cost performance. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Three (3) year base period and an additional six (6) months may be added to the contract following the base (IAW FAR 52.247-8).
